Ryan, I usually just discard the data object, other than properties on the form, either displayed or hidden, that I need to identify it or populate it. Then I reload it, update it, and finally update the DB when/if the form is submitted.

I'm interested in finding out how other people are passing data objects between requests for updating. For instance - User clicks "Edit Record" I load the data object from the database, copy the properties to the form, and put the data object in the session. When the users presses save on the form, I get the data object from the session, try and do a consistency check to make sure the key fields match what is on the form, and do the update. Is there a way to pass the data object with the form? Maybe via serialization? That would keep it out of the session, and remove the consistency check.
